Decentralized Voting Machine
Project Challenges
- Data Immutability vs Privacy: Storing data on the Ethereum blockchain ensures immutability, but balancing transparency with voter privacy can be complex
- Real-time Data Retrieval: GraphQL is efficient, but ensuring real-time data updates from the blockchain and IPFS in a decentralized environment can be challenging
- Cost Management: Running transactions on Ethereum can incur high gas fees, especially during peak network times, making the voting process potentially costly
- Decentralized Storage Complexity: IPFS is resilient but can have latency or availability issues, especially in retrieving data quickly during high-traffic times
Solution
Integrate event listeners in your frontend to detect blockchain events as they happen, updating the interface in real-time. For IPFS, use pinning services or decentralized caching networks like Filecoin to ensure data availability. This will allow users to experience real-time feedback without waiting for data refreshes. Optimize IPFS usage by storing only essential, frequently accessed data on IPFS, while non-critical or auxiliary data could be stored off-chain with a reference on IPFS.Techenology used:
